There are two prominent motivations for making free, forever renewable,
non-polluting energy a daily reality for humanity:

On the upside - an unprecedented human journey based on
abundance instead of scarcity can be catalyzed by a transition to free
energy, while healing the environment at the same time;

On the downside - today’s energy production methods
are destroying the biosphere; energy scarcity is the primary
reason for global poverty, and the Middle East is increasingly becoming the site
of energy wars, which may ignite World War III.

Such free energy sources exist and have
been extensively developed in the United States and elsewhere, however:

Those attempting to independently develop technology
to use those energy sources have been bought out or wiped out, although such
efforts usually self-destruct before attaining the stage where they need derailing;

Those leading the suppression of the independent efforts
also control the extensively developed free energy technologies, and their influence
is wielded in subtle yet powerful fashion; they are forcing artificial scarcity
onto humanity for reasons of earthly power (I call them the Big Boys in my work).

Far
less than 1% of the U.S. population has constructively engaged that situation,
the proportions falling somewhat along these lines:

Most people are unaware that the situation exists, largely
due to the clandestine methods used to keep the situation unknown and a compliant
media system, but also because most people do not want to know;

Those exposed to this situation usually deny it, often
by dismissing it as a “conspiracy theory;”

Those acknowledging the situation’s reality usually
have unproductive reactions, such as:

oparanoia;

oapathy;

ohopelessness;

otrying to expose or punish the suppressors;

obeating the suppressors at their own game;

otrying to get a piece of the suppression action for
themselves;

othwarting those attempting to overcome the suppression,
as they try stealing the technology/market for themselves;

Those
acknowledging the situation and attempting a constructive response, such as mounting
an effort to develop such technologies and bring them to the public, or educating
the public about the situation, seem to number fewer than one thousand people;
and of those, the number possessing the integrity sufficient to mount a potentially
successful effort is probably fewer than one hundred people.

4. If an effort to overcome the suppression and
public inertia is going to have a realistic chance of succeeding, that final group
needs to grow to thousands of people, to form a critical mass. The effort
needs to reach far beyond the small and insular alternative energy community.
Simply becoming aware of the issue and engaging in constructive dialogue may be
all that is needed. The primary qualification for a member of that critical
mass group is nearly incorruptible integrity. The task is formidable, because
people of that level of integrity areless
than one-per-thousand in the U.S. general population, but that approach
appears to have the best chance of success with the least risk to the participants.

The
bold contentions in this summary are explored at depth in the following essay.
Perhaps the above summary is incorrect, but nobody I trust with significant experience
in that milieu denies its basic thrust.

My Journey
and Primary Lesson

My
journey into alternative energy began more than thirty years ago, when my
first professional mentor invented what was considered the world’s best engine for powering an automobile.
Today’s “cutting edge” cars are using innovations my mentor invented long ago,
such as hybrid cars recycling the energy absorbed from applying a car’s brakes.
I dreamed long ago about changing the way humanity produces and uses its energy.
I eventuality chased my dream, only to have it
become a nightmare. My journey was filled
with numerous lessons, and many were reluctantly learned. I know of no effort
in world history of higher profile or of more persistence or closer to success
in bringing significant alternative energy to humanity than Dennis
Lee’s efforts, and I was with him during some of his adventures’ darkest chapters.
I think he did his most interesting work before I met him. There is no teacher
like experience, and I am writing this essay with the hope that it will assist
those few who try bringing alternative energy to humanity, and perhaps help heaven
on earth come into being.

My
primary lesson was one I resisted for many years, until I finally had it beaten
into my head: personal integrity is earth’s scarcest commodity, and applying
a sufficient pool of it to the free energy conundrum is the key to making
it happen. If an alternative energy effort does not begin with people of
the highest integrity, it will not get very far. Almost without exception,
when I have mentioned that harsh lesson and its ramifications, people have responded
by ignoring it or presenting irrelevant counter-examples or dismissing it as of
minor consequence. It is not an enjoyable realization, but it is today’s
reality. While denial may seem a valid defense mechanism, it is
ultimately self-defeating, particularly in this context. True skepticism
is a virtue (which means getting out of one’s armchair and honestly investigating
before launching opinions), but I have rarely experienced a genuinely skeptical
reaction, which reinforces my primary lesson. I expect my work to
be greeted with skepticism, because it is so alien to the average American’s experience,
so this essay is peppered with footnotes and links that lead to evidence that
illustrate my points.

First
of all, what follows is why a lack of integrity dooms alternative energy efforts.
All economies for all time have been primarily
dependent on energy. Today’s energy industry is the world’s most powerful,
and a new energy source, particularly one that could easily replace conventional
energy sources, has long been the subject of novels, motion pictures and other
mass media. The economic value of such an energy source is beyond the dreams
of avarice. Several trillion dollars of revenue are generated annually by
the energy and related industries, such as transportation. Even that vast
sum misleadingly minimizes the importance of energy, because without energy to
run the show, industrialized civilization would
quickly grind to a halt.

When
people begin pursuing alternative energy, whether it is in pure or applied research,
prototype development or the more advanced stages of entrepreneurialism, manufacturing
and marketing, greed nearly always rears its head and defeats most attempts before
they even get started. Dennis has likened the situation to the movie The
Treasure of the Sierra Madre, where everybody wanted to wipe out everybody
else so they would not have to share their plunder. The stakes are higher
in the free energy pursuit than any other on earth, and bringing a genuine alternative
energy to market, one that can impact the global marketplace, is not something
that a lone inventor or entrepreneur can accomplish. It will take a major
effort by many players to make alternative/free energy happen, and stealing a
prototype or start-up company is futile, if developing a genuine alternative energy
for the public is the goal. I have watched numerous attempts to steal Dennis’
companies, and the two successful attempts I witnessed in the 1980s were performed
when the Big Boys had Dennis in a headlock.[1] Before
I met Dennis, his companies were stolen several times by his business associates
and once by organized crime, which then pulled off a genuine scam of the public.
I saw some particularly incompetent attempts to steal Dennis’ companies that I
witnessed after our days in Ventura. Steven
Greer calls the Big Boys “Godzilla,” but the economic jungle is also filled
with T-Rexes, velociraptors and other predators. The jungle is not filled
with gentle, herbivorous beasts and one super-predator.

After
Dennis’ company was stolen in Seattle, I watched several
groups fight over the company’s carcass, and none of them did anything
productive with it. Also, if any of them became productive, they would have
quickly discovered the hard way why Dennis’ company was defunct when they stole
it, but they were blinded by their greed. Also, the employees not involved
in stealing the companies often stole anything they could on their way out, a
phenomenon vividly evident in Ventura. For
those people, the Big Boys’ suppression efforts gave them theft opportunities.
Greed is one of the seven deadly sins and is the fear of never having enough.
It is an irrational fear that can never be extinguished by hoarding wealth.
After obscene amounts of wealth are stolen from others, the fear then becomes
focused on amassing as much control over others as possible, trying to play God.

When
the Big Boys’ hammer came down, those not actively stealing were mainly motivated
by self-preservation, and those running and hiding or crawling before agents of
the Big Boys, begging for mercy (or actively helping the Big Boys, as a way to
avoid their wrath), may have provided a more disheartening spectacle than the
thievery did. A third category of ignoble behavior was provided by many
of those who did not fall into the first two categories: blaming and attacking
Dennis became a favored activity, probably because he was an easy target, particularly
when the Big Boys had him in a headlock. Many people fell into all three
categories.

All those
actions evidenced low personal integrity, and when the dust had settled in Ventura,
human behavior could never surprise me again. There were heartening exceptions
to that low-integrity rule, however, with Mr. Professor
shining the brightest. People like him were needles in haystacks.
I have sought people like him ever since, and have encountered very few who may
have had the right stuff. Just as nearly everybody thinks they are an adequate
housekeeper or a competent driver, nearly everybody thinks they possess high integrity.
Passing an integrity test of the magnitude that Mr. Professor took often costs
one their career/net worth/health/life, so those
who have proven their integrity at those levels can rarely join together to make
something important happen, because their lives have usually been destroyed.

Laying aside
the Mind Crutches

When
I staggered out of Ventura in 1990, I realized that whatever I had been taught
about the world was probably not true, and for the next twelve years I read around
two hundred thousand pages of material. A primary thrust was researching
what I had been taught, comparing it to my adult researches and seeing if it held
up. It rarely did. Although my ride with Dennis radicalized me, I
also had some early experiences that aided my receptivity to the lessons, such
as my family changing its diet when I was twelve and
being introduced to paranormal phenomena at age sixteen.

As I performed my adult
research on what I was taught while young, I realized that most of my “learning”
that failed under scrutiny was not simply a haphazard assortment of misinformation.
The misinformation was apparently designed to indoctrinate me into certain ways
of “thinking.” Here are some examples
of what I discovered during my adult researches.

Christopher Columbus has a national holiday
in his name, and is the first shining hero in
American history books, but his greed-inspired efforts directly led to history’s
only complete genocide of millions of people, a fact that my teachers failed
to mention.

I was taught that George Washington
was the first American president, the “father of our country” and a man
who could not lie. In reality, he was an avaricious, slave-owning aristocrat
and America’s richest man when he became president, getting rich partly from stolen
Native American land. He was also the primary architect of the American
government’s policy of stealing Native American land through fraudulent treaties
in what may be history’s greatest swindle.

I attended Junípero Serra elementary
school in grades four through six. Serra established the California mission
system and the padre is up for sainthood today.
What my teachers failed to tell me, as I watched a movie of his holy life and
viewed his statue in our town square and visited his missions, was that he was
a masochistic religious fanatic who ran colonial Mexico’s Inquisition and that
the primary outcome of his missionizing efforts was the complete extermination
of the coastal California tribes that greeted him. The only tribes that
survived were tribal remnants that fled to California’s interior.

The United States is simply a successor
empire to the European empires that were weakened or destroyed during the
World Wars of the 20th century. The words “America” and “empire”
were never used in the same sentence during my American history education, a rule followed by American
history books and today’s media organizations, at least until the recent invasion
of Iraq, as the nakedly imperial aspect of our international behavior is increasingly
difficult to deny. As with all empires, we tell ourselves that we are a
different kind of empire, as in a benevolent one. Our victims do not believe
it, nor does the rest of the world.

America’s fight against communism
had nothing to do with protecting the world’s people from the evil communists,
but was an effort to keep the world’s people enslaved to the political-economic
system that the United States dominated, a system known today as global capitalism.
That easily-verified situation somehow escaped the educational process I was subjected
to while growing up.

In my economics classes in college, I learned that Adam Smith was
the father of capitalism and that he extolled the magic of free markets and the
invisible hand of competition. However, Smith also remarked that capitalists
were relentless in making sure there were no free markets, accomplished
by buying out, wiping out or colluding with the
competition, which is the most apt description of today’s
capitalists that I can think of.

My chosen profession of public accounting turned out to have a fatal
conflict of interest that became evident during the Savings and Loan Scandal of the 1980s and the Enron/WorldCom/etc. scandals of the early 21st
century. I was never taught about that conflict in school, and the conflict
exists to this day.

I now realize that a great deal of the “science” I was taught did
not come from carefully produced research but was propaganda that served certain
economic and political interests. The real world of science is a vastly different one
than the one I was taught about in school.

The “War on Cancer” has been waged for many years. It turns
out that cheap, harmless and effective cancer cures
have existed for generations and the “War on Cancer” is a fraud. A great deal of the “warfare”
has been directed toward wiping out those genuine
cancer cures in the name of protecting the consumer, but is really done to
protect the immensely lucrative cancer racket from the threat of genuine cures
being used.

Fluoride was in my toothpaste while I grew up, to promote healthy
teeth. It was also added to the water I drank every day. I now know
fluoride is an industrial waste, added to
my water so fluoride polluters could dispose of their waste. Fluoride was
originally identified as a pollutant that destroyed teeth and, in an incredible inversion
of reality, scientists working for fluoride polluters magically transformed a
tooth-crumbling pollutant into a tooth’s best friend. The fluorine ion also
causes brain damage, among other harmful effects.

I was fortunate
to be raised relatively free of religious indoctrination, but I received its secular
equivalent in my “education.” Was I taught anything that was true?
I am not sure. My indoctrination gave me various “mind crutches.”
Crutches can help people walk until they no longer need them, but they can also
produce cripples who cannot imagine living without them. The mind crutches
I was given are seemingly of the latter variety. Why do our educational
and media systems produce people with an inverted sense of reality? Apparently,
so people can be manipulated via their mind crutches. How do mind crutches
work to cripple people’s minds? To a significant degree, they work because
they appeal to people’s self-interest and egos, particularly their vices.

If Americans believe
they belong to the greatest, most benevolent society of all time, then they can
rape and plunder the world’s people (particularly the poor ones) with a clear
conscience or only passing awareness, because our international acts are obviously
designed to help the world’s downtrodden, right? To question the assumption
of American benevolence can lead to cognitive
dissonance, and few Americans have proven themselves capable of resolving
the dissonance by discarding the false beliefs they were indoctrinated with.
The truth then becomes unthinkable, and that delusional state provides
fertile ground for more delusions to take root, the deluded paying an immense
price in lost sentience. The human ego explains a great deal of that dynamic,
but there are also rewards for playing the game and penalties for failing to.
For instance, I do not walk down the halls of my corporate employer and
contradict capitalistic dogma. If I did, I would not be there long.
The result is that Americans are largely a semi-sentient people who mindlessly
repeat the catechisms they were indoctrinated with. A monkey
can be trained to wave a flag on cue. Most people never break free and learn
to think for themselves on those subjects. I recently encountered the observation
that America’s official bird should be changed from the bald eagle to the parrot,
an observation with keen significance since September 11, 2001.

Here
are the mind crutches that Americans need to discard (or stop leaning on so heavily)
if they want to help a world of abundance appear:

Nationalism;

Capitalism;

Organized Religion, particularly its literalist forms;

Scientism - the worship of the methods of science
as the only valid path to knowledge, also related to worshipping the scientific
establishment;

Materialism -
the worship of the material world as the only reality, also related to hoarding
material wealth;

Rationalism -
the worship of the rational aspect of intelligence as the only important attribute
of intelligence, also related to the denigration of intuition.

The
above doctrines are all based on the scarcity principle, as they exalt one group
at the expense of others. The first three do it quite obviously, the other
three more subtly.

People
cannot help an abundance principle take root when their minds are mired in scarcity
consciousness.

The
first three doctrines have been prominently used to justify violating others and
have fostered egocentric delusions that provided the justifications, such as the
Chosen People, wealth elitism, the Promised Land,
Manifest Destiny or its successor Lebensraumpolitik. Those first three mind
crutches form the triune faith of most Americans. Scarcely an American can
be found who does not regularly kneel at one of those altars. In nationalism,
we are elevated above other nations by virtue of our being born here. My
American Empire essay was partly intended as an antidote
to American nationalism. The essays in this section
of my website are intended as an antidote to capitalism, which might
be the most inefficient economic system yet devised, as it is quickly destroying
the planet and provides the rationale for doing so. Every organized
religion is to some extent a corruption of the vision the religion in whose name
was erected. In Christianity in particular, kneeling at the right altar
is the ticket to heaven, and those kneeling at the wrong altars (or those not
kneeling at all) are condemned by the Almighty. People having near-death
experiences or those who have learned to explore
other planes of existence do not describe anything like a gatekeeper to “heaven,” and those in “hell” are there because they want to be, and
leave when they are no longer attracted to it. The scarcity principle
is ingrained into our societies in ways that can seem invisible, such as our sports
and games, where there is almost always one ultimate winner and many losers.

Those
last three doctrines are interrelated and subtler than the first three.
Those holding to Enlightenment ideals (I will call them Enlightenment doctrines
in this essay) often subscribe to those three. People can easily pursue
experiences that show how false and limiting those doctrines are. All three
doctrines have the denigration of consciousness in common. Consciousness,
in those doctrines, is seen as dependent on biochemistry, and the rational aspect
of consciousness is the only one considered important, and phenomena such as intuition,
emotion or love are minimized. History’s greatest physicists did
not subscribe to those doctrines, and anybody can easily be trained to experience
paranormal phenomena, clearly demonstrating that chemistry-based
consciousness models are woefully deficient. Those subscribing to Enlightenment
doctrines often ignore or dismiss evidence that we are not alone in the universe
and are regularly visited by extra-terrestrial civilizations. For instance,
over the past generation more than three thousand people have witnessed UFOs appearing
on request at a Washington ranch. I went to see for myself this year, and
I was not disappointed.[2]
Those subscribing to Enlightenment doctrines also tend to dismiss the notion that
the world’s political-economic system is managed by surreptitious means, usually
dismissing the notion as a “conspiracy theory,”
and almost always deny that the Above Top Secret
world even exists, preferring to focus on the bureaucratic aspect of covert action. I discovered
that many who are great at describing our immense problems do not want to hear
about solutions that topple their scarcity-based
paradigm.

As
R. Buckminster Fuller observed, economics has
always been the name of the elite game, with politics a mere byproduct; all political
actors are “stooges“ of the economic interests. Today’s most radical political
and economic ideologies are still based upon the scarcity principle, and all political
systems have been primarily concerned with who gets
the scarce resources. Pursuing free energy (or significant alternative
energy) is the most radical economic act on earth today, and only when an effort
becomes “threatening” do activists encounter the Big Boy gatekeepers. The
billion-dollar bribe we were offered to stop pursuing
free energy is not a “conspiracy theory” but the reporting of our experiences.
Also, those pursuing that path at a level where they threatened to make an economic
impact all report similar experiences. There is no theory about
it, but that situation has never been constructively engaged by any political
faction that I have encountered, and I have encountered just about all of them.

Pitfalls and Unproductive Paths

Experience
may be the only teacher, and the pitfalls and unproductive paths presented
here are those I have experienced myself or heard of from first-hand participants.
Just as teenagers often think their parents do not know anything, many in the
free energy community whom I have tried cautioning with tales of pitfalls have
denied their relevance as they blithely headed for those very same pitfalls.
It has not been easy to watch. For a teenage boy, learning some of life’s
lessons the hard way is part of growing up. When pursuing free energy, learning
those lessons the hard way often means having one’s life destroyed, if not prematurely
ended. Only those with the crazed persistence of a Dennis
Lee get to make the attempt more than once. I learned many of my lessons
the hard way, and seek to help others avoid learning them the hard way.

Here
are some of the more important pitfalls and unproductive activities that I have
seen.

Denial - This pitfall kills most free energy efforts before
they get very far. The denial relates to many facets of the free energy
conundrum (such as that the Big Boys even exist or are vigilant). Because
the free energy arena is like no other, denial of how it operates is common and
can be fatal for its participants. For instance, except for my years with
Dennis, I have spent my entire career in corporate America. The free energy
scene only vaguely resembles how corporate America operates. Thinking it
does is one of the many pitfalls that free energy activists encounter. Believing
in the fairy tales of capitalism and nationalism is particularly dangerous for
somebody pursuing free energy. The most harmful denial often relates to
denying that the pitfalls listed below even exist, or can be leapt over or run
past too quickly for them to matter.

Delusions
of grandeur - I have yet to meet a human without an ego.
When pondering the implications of free energy, the situation’s immensity can
seduce the ego. Delusions of grandeur can take root, and one must always
be vigilant of them. I had fleeting delusions of grandeur during my days
with Dennis, and I have seen the bug bite others fiercely.[3]

Seeking
“humanitarian assistance” and rich benefactors
- All free energy efforts have always operated on a shoestring, and all have tried
raising money somehow. Each fundraising method has its pitfalls, and the
most futile one I have seen is seeking a rich benefactor. If a rich person
genuinely tries helping out, they quickly get a horse’s
head in their bed, get their money seized,
and so on. More often, the “benefactor” tries controlling the effort from
the outset or stealing the technology/company or waits
like a vulture for the opportunity to take over when they smell easy profits.
Dennis has interacted with numerous billionaires and has never seen one part with
a dollar relating to helping free energy happen. They all seem to heed Bill
Gates’ dictum, “You don’t get rich by cutting checks.” “Humanitarian” groups
often hamper efforts like developing free energy, in a bizarre situation where
the biggest obstacles to realizing the solutions are the people who say
they seek solutions.

Needing
a paycheck - This is related to the above pitfall, and is the
primary reason I have pursued my Website work as I have. If people in a
free energy venture must immediately be paid for their efforts, they are already
defeated. Economic need kills most free energy efforts, and when I saw all
the employee theft in Ventura, it was because
the company owed them one week of wages. I have seen that need come
in many guises, and if a significant free energy effort ever becomes viable, it
will be due to people who are giving, not getting. That is why there
is a free energy conundrum - there have not been enough people involved who are
more interested in giving than getting. If the people involved are starving
or need regular, corporate-sized paychecks to be involved, the effort is doomed
before it begins.

Naïveté - I fell into that pitfall regularly during my journey
with Dennis. It took some time to wake up to the free energy milieu’s reality.
Most people will have to negotiate that pitfall to get very far along the path.
The most common reaction I have heard to the free energy conundrum is also the
most naïve, which goes like this, “If this was
possible, I would be able to buy it.” That statement reflects a belief in
the magic of capitalism, where the best, brightest and most benevolent always
triumph. Not even Adam Smith believed it. It also reflects a
belief in the fairy tale of American nationalism.
Disbelief is the most common reaction to the billion-dollar
bribe that we received, and engineers and technical professionals often prove
to be the most naïve of all, as Bucky Fuller observed. Mailing off working free energy prototypes to the Big Boys, hoping
for a tickertape parade, gets the wrong kind of attention. Naïveté can be
a fatal pitfall in the free energy pursuit.

Seeking
specialist opinions - One on hand,
seeking specialist opinions may seem prudent, but on the other hand, most scientists,
engineers and technical professionals undergo heavy indoctrination disguised as
learning and can rarely think past their textbooks. For instance, there have been credible
experimental results that call into question the Second Law of Thermodynamics. That
“laws” of physics even exist shows how much like a religion physics is.
There are no “laws” of physics, only theories. The first person to perform
those law-defying experiments died in a U.S. prison,
with the U.S. government destroying his equipment. A scientist who related
to me his own experimental results was murdered not long ago. While what Thomas
Kuhn called “normal” science is an honorable
and necessary part of scientific endeavor, and those performing normal science
are firmly wrapped in their paradigm and rarely glimpse beyond it or comprehend
evidence that challenges their paradigm. Less
than 1% of scientists and engineers have the creative insight and discrimination
needed to successfully evaluate novel experimental data or technology, and the
best of them are always cautious about saying that something is “impossible,”
which my first professional mentor taught me.
Thinking that a physicist or engineer is qualified by their orthodox training/experience
to evaluate free energy technology or theory is the height of folly. Some
of the most irrational responses to my work have been by engineers, scientists
and academics, and some of their most illogical responses have been regarding
areas where they claim expertise.[4]

Failure
to separate the wheat from the chaff
- Because few with scientific or technical training can properly evaluate novel
theory, data or technology, it does not mean that nobody can. Finding those
people is difficult, however, and there are many garage mechanics and electronics
tinkerers who think they invented a free energy machine. As Adam Trombly once noted, there are many in the new
energy field who have never done anything productive and often say that nobody
has made them an offer they cannot refuse.
Those producing pedestrian results are not made those offers; the Big Boys are
not stupid. Navigating between the bogus and the genuine is a perilous endeavor
for free energy activists. There is far more chaff than wheat out there,
and some is even fraudulent chaff, although not nearly as much as Mr. Skeptic would have people believe.

Thinking
that low integrity people can be “managed”
- When the BPA Hit Man approached Dennis’ company in
1985, Dennis suspected that he was not who he presented himself as. Dennis
thought he could “manage” him, and actively misdirected him. When the hit
man’s actions cost one of Dennis’ employees her life,
Dennis became radicalized in his pursuit of alternative energy. I became
a pile of frayed nerves a few months after the raid on our facilities in 1988, and a business associate
asked Dennis if he could become his new protégé. Dennis knew that the man
did not have the required integrity for the job but took him on anyway, while
cautioning him that he would probably betray Dennis one day. Dennis says
that only nice guys have betrayed him, as the cutthroats never get close enough
to stick their daggers in his ribs. Instead, his “friends” always shove
the daggers into his back. That opportunity for betrayal came a few months
later, and that protégé gleefully helped destroy Dennis’
company while he was in jail. A major problem with people of less-than-high
integrity in a free energy effort is that any success attracts the predators.
The predators are not only agents of the Big Boys, but also the standard predators
that populate America’s entrepreneurial waters.[5] The magnified temptations and dangers
of the free energy environment easily corrupt people of less-than-high integrity.
Managing people of low integrity in a free energy effort is like holding a faulty
bomb with the fuse lit - you cannot throw it far enough away, and it might still
blow up in your hand. The latest instances I encountered of low integrity people
and people’s refusal to recognize the danger they presented helped drive me back
into seclusion.

Overlooking
low integrity because the person has something to offer - This is related to the preceding point. I have
yet to meet an altruistic inventor. Discovering that inventors have no more
integrity than the general population was the second most important lesson of
my journey. Creativity does not confer integrity, something I learned
the hard way. It took me many years of disillusionment to finally accept
the reality. My first professional mentor is the closest thing to
an altruistic inventor that I have met, and my early experience misled me about
the real world of inventors. Whether it is an inventor with an intriguing
energy prototype or somebody who offers funding or a business associate who offers
an alliance, at the first inkling that their integrity is not the highest, severing
the relationship immediately and honorably is the best remedy, because when times
get trying, those people will betray the effort for personal gain or self-preservation.
Many times I have watched people overlook low integrity because the person had
something else that might contribute to the effort. It has always backfired
when the going got tough, and it always gets tough when pursuing free energy.

Thinking
that one can run below the suppressors’ radar
- A number of free energy inventors and entrepreneurs have tried to invent in secret, distribute in secret, finance
in secret and so on. The Big Boys have an impressive global surveillance infrastructure. I have
yet to see that strategy work. In fact, secrecy plays right into the Big
Boys’ hands, partly because they are masters of clandestine operations (they prefer
operating in dark alleys), and secrecy often leads to paranoia and other delusions,
helping the projects self-destruct before the Big Boys need to lift a finger.
Maybe somebody will run below the radar one day, but so far, it looks like the
high road offers much more promise and aligns with the ideals of openness and
honesty. A related notion is thinking that the free energy
effort can migrate to some free-energy-friendly nation. I have received
that suggestion dozens of times since 1986. I have yet to see or hear of
what nation that might be. All national governments are corrupt, and the
Big Boys have a truly global reach. There is no place to run and hide. There
are also many practical limitations to consider in taking it someplace “safe.”
I strongly doubt whether a free energy effort can be launched from a nation that
is not already industrialized.

Trying
to expose and/or punish the suppressors
- The Big Boys are masters of their game, and trying to beat them at it is a doomed
strategy. Secrecy, deception, violence, arrogance, avarice - these are their
hallmarks. While there have been courageous efforts by whistleblowers and investigators to expose
“bad guys” and/or punish them, the danger is great,
and ultimately, they cannot be beaten at their game. Exposing, punishing,
beating them at their own game - these are all scarcity-consciousness efforts
and are rooted in the victim mentality. Bringing free energy to the world
will take an abundance-oriented effort and must transcend the victim mentality
to become successful. Of course, that is easier said than done, but changing
the prevailing paradigm for the past ten thousand years is not an easy task.
If we want love and forgiveness to prevail on earth, we need to live it.

Forming
a mass movement around a small and/or weak nucleus - I have burned too much of my life’s energy on building alternative/free
energy efforts, to only watch them quickly disintegrate when faced with challenges.
If a large nucleus of high integrity people cannot be amassed, then humanity is
not ready for free energy and all that can come with it. It would probably
be better to make quilts instead of launch onto the path of disaster and martyrdom
that efforts of insufficient collective integrity invariably chart.

Forming
a movement around ideologies - Trying
to form a movement around an ideology, whether it is economic, religious, political,
scientific or social is a tacit admission that the movement’s members cannot be
trusted to think for themselves, and herding them along under an ideology’s banner
will not work, not for bringing free energy to the world. All of today’s
earthly ideologies are based on scarcity and most are subtly egocentric, and will
not help an abundance paradigm take root.[6]

Telling
your family and friends about free energy and the toppling of scarcity-based ideologies - Many readers of my work thought they would introduce
their “hip” family members or friends to my work, only to be shocked as they watched
their friends and family members go into irrational tirades against my work. The vast
majority of my “peers” - white, educated American men - can only read a few pages
of my work before blowing a fuse. Very few people can currently examine
the mass assumptions about reality, as the exercise threatens the “stories”
we tell ourselves. People addicted to their mind crutches do not want to confront naked reality, and cannot
currently pursue free energy. Again, less than
one-in-a-thousand are fit for it. If that is true, then what is the
point of this essay?

What
Can Be Done about the Conundrum?

If
all those paths of action listed above are fraught with peril or even counterproductive,
then what? A family friend was fond of saying, “Let’s do something, even
if it is wrong.” The free energy situation is a conundrum.
The scarcity principle is being artificially enforced on humanity, and the vast
majority of humanity will resist the removal of the chains from their brains.
I learned important lessons along the way, and some relate directly to the free
energy conundrum:

Love is always the answer

The means become the ends

Violating anybody’s
free will is ultimately self-defeating

If you can, do it with
gentle humor

As Seth
once said, actions inconsistent with the ideal will always fail to achieve
that ideal. Bringing an abundance paradigm to humanity is as idealistic
a project as was ever conceived. However, humanity is apparently not ready
for it. Not yet. If we were, we would have it, because there are enough
people trying to bring free energy and abundance to the world to make it happen,
if humanity was ready for it. But the Big Boys’ shenanigans and the masses’
inertia and easy manipulability are formidable obstacles, the inertia/manipulability
being the biggest factors by far.

When
the dust settled in Ventura, I realized that if fifty people had banded
around Dennis and his technical experts the way that Mr. Professor and I did,
we had a realistic chance of making free energy a daily reality for humanity.
If it were a hundred, it would have been easy (what I call the hundred heroes strategy). But there may
not be a hundred people to find at that level of commitment. Also, the price
it extracts from those few people can be awesome.

We
humans are largely locked into our false personalities, which is the herd mentality.[7]
Being a herd member can seem comforting, until the herd stampedes off the cliff.
The question I have pondered for many years is this:

Does humanity have to attain enlightenment before it can have free energy
and abundance, or can its daily reality help catalyze it?

Can
a group of people begin the movement toward abundance by simply becoming aware
that it is feasible? Such a strategy asks nothing of anybody but
that they think about it, and perhaps engage in dialogue (and maybe even
do some research). If the hundred heroes model is ever tried, those heroes/heroines
will need thousands of the awake to provide support. In addition, the Scarcity
Enforcement Team will find that strategy more challenging to derail. In
some ways, that might seem as futile as the other strategies, but almost nobody
can currently even think about these issues in an enlightened manner.
Until a sizeable group begins thinking about the issue, the rest seems
futile. Can such a group carry the ball for humanity until they are ready
to carry it themselves? This essay seeks to initiate dialogue on that issue,
and find more of those needles in haystacks.

Other
strategies may succeed, and while some pitfalls are more fatal than others, an
effort of direct action by the masses may limp to the finish line while only
stumbling into the lesser pitfalls, but no effort so far has really had a chance.
Are we ready to begin pursuing abundance?

[3] For instance, when I was briefly with Dennis in 1996-1997,
one of his volunteers previously volunteered for another prominent free energy
inventor. One day, the volunteer took a nature walk with that inventor and
that inventor confided that he thought he was the Second Coming of Christ.
That admission spooked the volunteer, who came to Dennis’ organization soon thereafter.

[4] Recent examples have been various forums where my work
has been discussed, particularly in the energy realm. I present examples
of intriguing technologies in my work, such as here and here, and
I have watched engineers and scientists, who claim expertise in the energy
field, dismiss them as of no consequence, although one was called the world’s
most effective engine design by a major federal study, and the other is the best
heating system the world market has yet seen. Such reactions by scientists
and engineers used to amaze me, but now I accept them as normal. Some of
my colleagues have had access to academics that run world-renowned science institutions
and to others in the scientific establishment’s inner sanctum. My colleagues’
reports have not been encouraging, as they encounter dogma, arrogance, complacency
and a host of vices avidly cultivated by the scientific establishment’s
authorities.

[5]This quote
has been attributed to Howard Scott and others: "A criminal is a person with
predatory instincts who has not sufficient capital to form a corporation."
Dennis has encountered thousands of them over the years in America’s
entrepreneurial waters.

[6] Even the scientific worldviews are often subtly egocentric,
such as the current Creation Story as portrayed by the Big Bang and Evolution.
Humans are the crowning flower of evolution in that scientific worldview, and
religious ideology, such as the Judeo-Christian religions, present humans as the
apple of God’s eye. Whether coming from scientists or religionists, the
basic message is the same - humans are the best the universe has to offer, and
all inferior beings can be treated accordingly.
